Auburn picked up its 12th commitment of the 2019 class on Saturday when four-star athlete Jashawn Sheffield committed following an official visit to campus with his mother, making his decision known via a short video posted to Twitter. The 6-foot-1, 178-pound Sheffield can play either safety or wide receiver in college.

Sheffield, who made multiple trips to campus between the spring and summer, had long been considered an Auburn lean. All it took was bringing his mom back to campus one more time to seal the deal.

"I have made my college decision," Sheffield posted in a note on Twitter. "First I would like to thank God for his many blessings and putting me in this position to further my academic and athletic career. I would also like to thank my mom, sisters, and my grandmother for their support. I would also like to thank my coaches and teammates for pushing me everyday(sic). Thank you to the numerous college coaches who saw something in me to offer me a scholarship as well. With that being said I would like to announce that I am committing to Auburn University."

While he can play on either side of the ball, Sheffield likely projects as a safety for Auburn. He would be the first safety in this class for the Tigers, who currently hold commits from a pair of projected corners in Simpson and three-star Saraland prospect Cordale Flott. If Auburn chooses to use him as a receiver, he would join four-star wideout George Pickens and three-star receiver Ja'Varrius Johnson at the position in this class.
